I’m running 2.3.19.1 on a system that isn’t set up to support filesystem

So I’d like to back up my mdbox mailboxes at a filesystem level (with rsync, or
something equivalent). I’m assuming that to get a consistent backup I should
lock the mailbox while I copy it.
How should I acquire a (write) lock on an mdbox mailbox?
Cheers,

Do you have a quiet time? My server is a family server, so quiet
overnight. Some businesses are the same. I stop delivery from postfix to
Dovecot when I back up Dovecot and then restart it and flush the queue
afterwards.
